The hotel is well located and the staff is very nice. However, the rooms as very dirty and run down. There is a wide variety for breakfast but it seemed the food had been resting there for a long time. The gym is ok. We paid for an upgrade to an Executive room (Club Lounge access). We were told the Lounge was open for breakfast, it was not. There room was smelling to cigarettes so much, the only solution they gave us was to spray the room. We ended up checking out 2 days earlier as it did not seem fair the price we were paying for the poor cleanliness and bad maintenance of the rooms.

This hotel has the best location, but rooms are need renovations urgently. I stayed at this hotel in several different rooms over a 30 day period for more than 10 days. And each room has had issues. From a clogged sink drain making strange noises to a wobbly toilet seat to mold in the refrigerator to squeaky door hinges. When I raised these issues with the front desk, a repairman was sent who said that they are aware the problem with the toilet cover and spare part is on the way. The problem will be fix when spare parts arrived. To blocked drainage it would be fixed after I checked out. He said all these so naturally as this supposed to be the right way to run the hotel. Housekeepers are obviously contracted out with minimum training. Floor has never been vacuumed, amenities always forget to refill.

We’ve been here before Covide time and nothing has changed! Still a perfect location, with excellent breakfast, and a kind staff. Metro Line 2 is just a few steps right from the entrance and it is very convenient if you travel to Pudong Airport or to the opposite side to the Hongqiao Railway Station and airport.

The Equatorial has been our go-to for a good place to stay at a reasonable price since 2001. This trip was no different, with the exception that the bathrobes were even nicer than usual, which was a pleasant surprise! Would stay here any time we went to Shanghai.
